purpose of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and definitions
of key terms. Each section is presented as follows.
1.1
Background of the Study
People have been quite familiar with works of art in their life. They can be
painting, architecture, music, or literature. Literature is a kind of art; usually it is a
written that offers pleasure illumination, for instance, poetry, drama, and prose. For
some people, literature is very enjoyable such as watching drama, writing novel, and
reading history, etc.
Literature is a product of language. Saini K.M and Jakob Sumardjo stated that
literature is human’s expression that can be in form of experiences, thoughts, feelings,
ideas, spirits, beliefs in a concrete way and can give pleasure through its language
(1986:3). It means literature has standard of expression from what the people have
shown in life, have experienced about life which interest in their experience directly
and forcefully.
According to Valery (in Koesnosoebroto, 1988), literature is kind of extension

developed by a language that is expressed by people such as through writing a literary
work. Whereas, according to Jones (1968: 1), “Literature is simply another way we
can experience the world around us through our imagination.”

imagination and giving enjoyment understanding of life because the literary work
talks about human life.

includes novel, short story, legend, and fairy tale; prose includes poetry; and drama
includes opera, theater, and movie. In the other words, through literary work people
do not need to communicate with other people face to face and they can understand
its meaning.

Karien Barna, and tries to focus on the social conflict of the main character that is

injustice feeling faced by the main character, Andie West planned to become a street
dancer; it is clearly meant for her.
This movie consists of arrange of events in life; thus, it is comparable with
people’s daily life. Then in this movie, social conflict is taken as the point of analysis
because social conflicts always happen through life and commonly happen in one’s
life. Through the movie the audiences can learn how to express something, and to
face their life.
